He'd make her a capital husband, and I should like to see the little grass-hopper happy.

If I had been in a different position, I would certainly have married her myself: hut that was out of the question with my responsibilities to Sir Christopher.

I think a little persuasion from my uncle would bring her to accept Gilfil; I know she would never be able to oppose my uncle's wishes.

And if they were once married, she's such a loving little thing, she would soon be billing and cooing with him as if she had never known me.

It would certainly be the best thing for her happiness if that marriage were hastened.
